Dear PFC Aaron Vinson, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter

Aaron was from a small town called Trumann, Arkansas. A few years ago I tried to located members of his family but was unsucessful but did find several who attended school with him and remembered him as a fine person and good student. He served his country well and will be remembered by those in Poinsett County Arkansas.
